Q. 'How easy is it for you to go there? [ Radiotherapy]
'If not easy, perhaps then you can think again.'
Shocking, a reverse form of eugenics, a new Logan's run- so it seems starting at 50 +
Don't forget time moves quickly. It doesn't matter how up to date you think you are. There will always be new developments that you don't want / cannot master. If age on a page dictates one's future - your future is in the hand's of the young. So the new glass ceiling of Ageism cannot be ignored. No amount of Dorian Gray's in the attic will save your soul. Neither will expensive skin care routines. You cannot run from your age, you must embrace it. Fight and educate and help break the glass ceiling for Older Women. One day we will be there and that day is not far away.
